Jasper’s Experience
What do you consider has been the most important and beneficial outcome of your one-month residency in New York?
JUTC: It was a perfect opportunity to become a ‘New Yorker’. Meeting fellow artists, visiting contemporary art and design places and most important, meeting the people behind it. I massively expanded my network and learned to do things the ‘New York Way’. I also enjoyed the time for myself as an artist. I came home with a book full of new ideas and freshness!
What was the most exciting and unexpected discover?
JUTC: I really enjoyed the places and people I met that are not the standard things to see when in New York. I visited the Metropolitan Museum which I really liked but meeting the people behind the forthcoming Powerhouse Arts Brooklyn Organisation and the building they are situated was one of the best.
